Probe into far-right leaflets in Blackburn

AN investigation has been launched after leaflets created by a far-right group were delivered in Blackburn.

Members of Britain First handed out the literature in the Shear Brow and Audley Range areas of Blackburn on Saturday.

Paul Golding, chairman of the group, said the leaflets addressed the issue of child sexual exploitation. A video was also posted online of some of the activity.

A Lancashire Police spokeswoman said: “We are aware of the video and the literature which has been distributed, and we are in the process of looking at them to see if any offences have been committed.”
